Vermont Experiments TO be Con
Quoted the Coming Season.

As the Vermont experiment station has
no farm of its own, and must rely on the
farmers of the state for the land on which
to conduct its experiments, Director w
W. Cooke asks that these experiments be
tried in each part OF the state:
l. The testing of new fodder plants to
see if they are adapted To our soil and Gil
mate.
a. Alfalfa, u species of clover, requires
land well drained, and from which the
snow does not blow off in the winter :;
sown broadcast, used for hay or green
food; does not die out like ordinary clo-
yer.
b. Cow pea sown in drills, and culti-
waited like beans, makes very heavy
growth of excellent fodder; used only
for green feed; can be grown on poor,
weedy soil, but does best ON SOIL natu-
rally rich IN potash.
G. Horse beans sown broadcast with
barley or oats that are TO cut for hay to
increase the nutritiOusness OF the fodder
2. Tests with fertilizers. The work
with fertilizers will be confined 10 sin

whether fodder plants can use phosphoric

years to determine how much benefit has
been received from the fertilizer. The
phosphates will be supplied,
Il. In the form OF me ground South
Carolina rock.
b. In the form of fine ground bone
black.
C. These two forms mixed with the adj
dition of plaster.
The trials with new fodder plants will
be on plots of one-fOurth of an acre. The
fertilizers trial on plots of one-tenth of
an acre with several unmanured plots for
comparison. The experiment station will
furnish the seed and the fertilizers free
of cost, only STIMULATING that whoever
takes them shall agree to report to the
station the results of the trial.
All who are willing to try any of these
experiments will please send i'll their
names and signify which experiments
they desire to make TO the director at
Burlington. Full directions will be sent
with each package OF seed or fertilizer.

How TO Be An Agreeable Guest.

L
Make it a point to eat breakfast
with the family, no matter how early
the hour, though your hostess in
sist that YOU ''need not do it" You
have ample lime for an afternoon
nap.
While your friend is busy doing
up the morning work or cooking, do
not follow her about, chattering
like magpie: in nine cases out of
ten it will be very troublesome and
result in burnt nick-nacks or biscuits
without shortening.
Try and be of some service.
Though an invalid, you can quietly
take upon yourself some light task
that will greatly relieve your friend
and add materially TO the agreeable
ness of your stay, such as darning
the stockings, brushing up and dust
ing the sitting-room, taking care
of the baby, or whatever may not
be too irksome to you.
Be sure to care for your own room,
unless a second girl is kept for this
purpose. Keep your room tidy; do
not have your things strewn all over
the house. Some visitors who are
very notional about their apartments
when at home, still act as though
they had special license to keep
their friends spare room in a pan
demonic state. When leaving, be
sure the room is in perfect order,
swept, busted. crockery clean and
bed made.
Do not put your clothes into the
family wash unless certain it will
not incommode; even then always
paw YOUR friend, or the servant, If
one Is kept.
1t is only the ignorant who at
tempt TO entertain their friends the
entire day; it is very annoying.
Leave them Il while each afternoon
for their private reflections and du-
ties. and amuse yourself with book
or work in YOUR room.
a truly polite guest will try to be
equally agreeable to each member of
the family, and by noticing some
awkard or shy child may do much
towards developing her. Never al
low an aged, infrm or otherwise
unfortunate person to feel that You
are not interested in them.
Remember it is very disagreeable
to have your guest constantly expa-
tiating on her aches and pains, her
sleepless nights, domestic infelici-
ties and like gloomy topics; and
equally so to have her always speak
ing of her rich relatives, how they
do in the city, her trip to foreign
land, etc. MOdesty suggests sub
jects with a small i.
People visiting in the city should
endeavor to dress lastly, though
their means may dictate extreme
simplicity 1t will add materially to
their enjoyment, as well as that of
their friends. \ neat, stylish trav-
cling suit, a wrapper for morning,
and an afternoon dress, with a
choice variety of neck garniture,
Will make one presentabIe in almost
any society for a short visit. Those
visiting in the country should be
careful not to make foolish display
of their fnery.

however simple. are always pleasant :;
and it Is well to remember the ser

Lastly, if YOU desire to make an
agreeable visit rather than n vista

FLOWING DIFFERENT SOHS.-Though
many differ as 10 deep OF shallow blowing,
there are some points on which most
farmers will agree. For example, wet
lands should not be plowed deep until
they have been thoroughly drained. Al
iuvial soils and deep, clay loans, where
the surface and subsoiIs do not materially
differ, can scarcely be titled too deeply.
Thin soils, however, should not be pillow
ed below the available plant food. 1t
takes twice as much manure to fertilize
the land when it is plowed to depth OF
ten inches as when it is ploWed five inch
es; yet, on the other hand, by plow-
ing only i've inches deep, the soil Will be
exhausted much quicker than when the
the blowing Is ten inches.

the milk is not quite rich enough, add u

HORSES SHEDDING THEIR CoATs.-This
process is facilitating and should, if pos
sible, be gone through with before hard
work in the spring begins. Thorough
grooming and rich but laxative feed will
hasten this change. small addition of
lnseed meal to the ration helps to make
new glossy coat appear, but this should
be discontinued sometime before the ami
NAL is set TO heavy work. Oats are best
for giving strength and endurance and
there should be enough exercise given at
all times TO keep the muscles firm. Where
flesh is put on while working it shows
that the horse is getting in condition for
doing more work The fat gained in the
stable is good for nothing, when the
horse is taken to the field or the road. 1t
comes off great deal faster than it was
put on.

Effects of Alcohol on the System.

Sir Andrew Clark, physician in ordinary
to her Majesty Queen Victoria, and MIR.
Gladstone's medical adviser, writes thus:
| call perfect health the loveliest thing in
this world. Now alcohol, in small doses,
will take the bloom off, will injure the per-
lection of loneliness of health, both men,
tai and moral.
| do not desire to make out strong case,
I desire to make out true case. | am
speaking solemnly and carefully in the
presence of truth, and | tell you l am con-
siderably within the mark when | say to
you that going the round Of my hospital
wards to-day, seven out Of every ten owe
their i'll health to alcohol. Now what does
this mean? That out of every hundred
patients which L have charge of at the
their i'll health to alcoholic its abuse! I
drurkards, but to the excessive use.
l am not saying, because l have no means
of saying, in human life in society at large,
what is the percentage of victims which
alcohol seiZes upon as its rightful prey. I
do not know. | have no method of coming
accurately to the conclusions, but I know
this, that not only has large percentage
of such diseases as | have mentioned. but
great mass-certainly more than three
fourths Of the disorders in what we call
fashionable life"-arise from the use of
this very drug of which [ am now speak
ing. Now, if you think of that, and think
for one moment OF the fact l have told YOU,
that i'll this London hospital seven out of
the ten of those whom [ have seen to-day,
and seen for one reason. to present the
statement to you to-night, lie there manned
for life by this agent; that great mass,
perhaps the greatest mass of the disorders,
as distinct from the diseases with which
mankind is afflicted, arise from the abuse
OF the drug-surely, surely you will agree
with me, that terrible responsibility lies
upon those who, forgetful of these plain
and certain teachings which the commonest
experience can yield, will stimulate people
to keep themselves up with glasses of wine
and glasses of beer
And ask, what are you to think of those
who are born Of drunkards who came into
this world, SO to speak, with curse not
only upon them, but in them: the desire
Tor that which is to blast them, and TO blast
them speedily--a desire which no human
power can save them from, and which God
alone, III his wisdom and mercy. can pro-
tect them from? What an awful Thought is
TINS. Can there be any man here present
VINO, II he is taking more than he ought to
take. IS indifferent to all this? How can
he think without dread of this terrible fact
-for fact 1t is, as surely as that two and
two make four that this desire is becom-
ing part of his nature, and that he is hand
ing 1t down, not for good, but for the most
terrible evil that man can suffer, unto gen
eratlons yet unborn? Can say to YOU any
words stronger than these of the terrible
effects of the abuse of alcohol?

How the Poor Live in Italy.

A marvellous degree of economy is
practiced even in the smallest details.
Coffee-grounds from the wealthy mans
kitchen are dried and sold to the DOOR,
In a similar way oil is twice and some
times three times used, tile drippings
after each successive frying being
gathered from the pan and sold to the
poor. Old shoes, hats. clothes, candle
ends, dried cofHee-grounds, Second
hand" oil, and hundred other articles
are spread out upon the broad stones
of the piazza Cor square) of town
and it is here to a great extent that the
italian workman procures his supplies.
A laborers suit, consisting of breaches,
jacket, vest, shirt, socks, necktie, and
shoes, costs anywhere from 81. as up.
His food is as simple as his clothing
and his habitation. In the morning a
great loaf of black bread is passed
around; each member of the family
gouges out piece Of the inside, until
finally only the hard crust is left. At
noon the crust is eaten, softened by a
little wine. A plate of macaroni, cost
ing 2 or cents, finishes the bill of fare.
At night more macaroni, then the beds
or pallets are spread and the family
goes to sleep, to get up and go through
the same routine on the morrow. The
rent of one of these rooms is from $40
to So per year the cost of the maca-
roni, wine, and bread is about 10 cents
per day for each person; but even at
this cheap rate of living the workman
who has family often finds it difficult
to make both ends meet. A skilled
bricklayer averages only 2! lire $50
